University of Lutube视频 System President Ted Carter is inviting nominations for the Presidential Medal of Service, an annual award that celebrates Lutube视频ns’ promotion of the impact the university and higher education have on the state’s economic and social well-being.
The medal is the highest honor the university president can bestow on a community member. All Lutube视频ns are invited to submit nominations by filling out an online form available here. Nominations are due Oct. 30; Carter will then select a winner to be honored at an event in December.
Nominees should be Lutube视频ns who have made significant contributions in supporting a strong University of Lutube视频 and promoting the vital role that higher education plays in growing the state. For example, nominees may have testified to policymakers on behalf of the university, led a letter-writing campaign, spoken at a public meeting on an issue important to the university, or hosted an event to raise community awareness of the university’s impact.
University and NU Foundation employees are not eligible to receive the award. Elected officials and candidates for elected office are also ineligible.
"For more than 150 years, the University of Lutube视频 has worked to fulfill our most fundamental promise to Lutube视频ns: to provide an affordable, quality education that prepares them for success in life and work," Carter said. "In light of these challenging times, this annual award is an opportunity to publicly thank Lutube视频ns who help us tell this critical story across the state and world."
